At the same time I see that\, in practice\, so few of the instrumentation engineers in Australia have the opportunity to share experiences with\, or learn lessons from counterparts at other Australian physics facilities.\n\nThe ANU Research School of Ast ronomy and Astrophysics have recently allocated strategic funding to suppo rt better collaboration and communication with our instrumentation counter parts supporting other realms of science in Australia.\n\nThe intent of th is talk is to provide a background to the initiative while leaving time fo r discussion on ways in which better engagement may enrich us all.\n\nhttp s://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/136/contributions/4104/ LOCATION:Zoom URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/136/contributions/4104/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Script based GUI builder for instrument control and data treatment DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20210527T235000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20210528T001000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260814T122421Z UID:indico-contribution-136-4107@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Norman Xiong (ANSTO)\nA new feature has been added t o the Gumtree software that allows users to create their own graphical use r interfaces for controlling the neutron scattering instruments and treati ng data.

The current controlle r is constructed of obsolete components that have no direct replacements. The repair of this PCB in not a feasible option.\n\nThe new control hardwa re is based on a NI cRIO-9035 PLC using a NI9401 (Ultra-fast digital outpu t)\, NI9403 (Digital Input/Output) and a NI9205 (Analogue Input). We are u sing LabVIEW 2019 for the software development environment.\n\nThis PLC co nsists of a FPGA and a Real Time unit within an ARM based processor. The a ccelerator controller is in charge of tracking the resonant frequency of t he accelerator. This is achieved within the FPGA section by implementing a phase-locked loop (PLL). The output stage IGBTs are controlled also by th e FPGA using PWM in real parallel execution. Moreover\, the interlock syst em will be developed in Real Time controller.\n\nThe implemented wideband PLL will maximise power delivery efficiency to the HVG. The PLL free-runni ng VCO is able to tune from 35 kHz to 47 kHz (25%) with a lock in range of 40.7 to 41.3 kHz. This enables the controller to precisely track the drif t in the resonant frequency of the HVG. \n\nThe controller can also preci sely vary the width of the pulse (PWM) from 1% to 99% (operational range f rom 5 – 30 %) with the resolution of 1% at the entire frequency band. Th is will enable the accelerator to run at different voltages terminals. \n\ nExperimental results shows that our new HVG control system not only runs the accelerator efficiently and safely\, but also provides remote monitori ng and upgradability.\n\nhttps://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/136/con tributions/4106/ LOCATION:Zoom URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/136/contributions/4106/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Fast ORM Measurement for Australian Synchrotron DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20210528T010000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20210528T012000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260814T122421Z UID:indico-contribution-136-4102@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Simin Chen (ANSTO)\nThe fast ORM measurement system would be capable of reducing the measurement time of the storage ring’s corrector to position response matrix from 15 minutes down to around 1 min ute.\n\nThe fast ORM measurement system is designed to generate sinusoidal excitation of the electron beam with or without FOFB correction data for fast response measurements. It is also equipped with a white noise generat or for closed loop gain analysis. With a much larger FPGA\, the FOFB corre ction data can be encoded as UDP packets and sent to IOCs for archiving an d offline analysis.\n\nhttps://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/136/contr ibutions/4102/ LOCATION:Zoom URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/136/contributions/4102/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Computer Control Operation and Future Upgrade Plan in STAR Acceler ator Facility at ANSTO DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20210528T001000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20210528T003000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260814T122421Z UID:indico-contribution-136-4105@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: JIAN WANG (CAS ANSTO)\nSTAR is a 2MV tandetron accel erator that can perform both IBA and AMS analyses.

These include partial modification of the or iginal C14-OS package in Windows NT\, and upgrade from Windows NT to Windo ws XP. \nDue to the age of the system\, and the base hardware\, operation and maintenance of the control system has become problematic.
